Best Answer: There is no problem taking potassium and magnesium supplements when you were on zoloft. Minerals are best absorbed taken in the liquid form combined with other minerals. Potassium and magnesium are best gotten from foods like bananas and green vegetables. As a matter of fact, zoloft and other SSRI's work best with daily protein and healthy diet to get adequate vitamins and minerals. SSRI's require the person to generate a certain minimum level of serotonin in the brain. To do that it needs tryptophan (from protein), magnesium, vitamin B6 to cross the blood brain barrier. Vitamins and minerals need each other in balance to work well. That's why healthy foods are the best sources. Too much potassium or magnesium will cause other minerals to be out of balance.
